Title:
  10de:0647 [MacBookPro5,2] Fails to boot into 12.04 desktop

Status in The Linux Kernel:
  New
Status in Accelerated Xorg driver for nVidia cards:
  Unknown
Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete
Status in linux source package in Lucid:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Unable to boot into the Ubuntu 10.04 beta1 Live-CD. Therefore also unable to install the OS. When nothing is set in the modes menu and no button is pressed then one can't even see the new Ubuntu Plymouth theme. The only thing one sees is a blinking cursor and it doesn't boot at all. If one presses F6 in the options menu and choose "nomodeset" then one does see the Ubuntu Plymouth theme but the laptop fails to boot and stops at the point there the b43 Wireless module gets loaded. The Wireless module seem not to be suppoted nativley. This would not be such a Critical issue HOWEVER only in this case the boot process HALTS. There is at this moment no know way to resume the boot to contine with the install. The option noload=b43 does not give any different solace. We repeated this procedure and the point where it stops is always the same:
  "b43-phy0 ERROR: FOUND UNSUPPORTED PHY (Analog 8, Type 4, Revision4)"

  Also using various boot options like: acpi=off noapic nolapic gave no different behaviour.
  Attached are two 2 screenshots and a movie (post #3 and post #12) demonstrating the problem.

  WORKAROUND: I may boot into the live environment of Trusty using both
  kernel parameters: acpi=off nomodeset
